None of the standard grips on aircraft spruce float my boat. Does anyone know of somewhere to find something really different? Maybe all carbon fiber or billet aluminum? Or just not so damn cheap looking?

Personally, I would have liked to have some like Trent has in his. Simple. Sorry, I have no idea where he got them. I have never seen them before.

His are literally bicycle grips

No way.. lizard skin grips?! It's been years since I've been into biking.

I was kinda thinking they might be modified motorcycle grips.

Nice Grips. I like you can customize them.
Thanks for the link.

I made these two, one out of walnut and one out of padauk. I was going to try to make one out of leather; although, it was going to be too complex for the method I wanted to use. Instead I opted for wood; which actually feels quite nice.

Out of interest, what PTT system is Trent using with the Lizard skin grips ?

The Button itself seems to be much larger and perhaps more robust than the ones I'm seeing, which are similar to the one used by Hoenshell.

Nothing worse than a sticking PTT button !

I found with the rayallen grips, if you tighten the little screws too tight, the ptt will freeze up. just snug.

I use ODI grips on my Mtn Bikes the past 10 years. Take your pick. I've run the Rogue model, it's my personal favorite.... YMMV.

Thank you, I wasn't looking for the grip, more info regarding the type of "larger" PTT button.
